Has there been a property event attended by Andy Burnham where he hasn’t been asked about his ‘radical rewrite’ of the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (GMSF)?

Of all the quality buildings that were shortlisted for the Stirling Prize, it was rewarding to see Hastings Pier win.

"Construction over London rail lines could deliver more than 250,000 homes", cites Planning Resource (2.11.17), referencing a report by WSP entitled 'Out of thin Air'.

I spend a lot of time thinking about sheds, logistics infrastructure and how we keep supplying an economy that loves doorstep delivery. In the upcoming London Plan it appears that Sadiq Khan has been thinking about it too, promising a dramatic change of tone in terms of protecting Strategic Industrial Land (SIL).

Award-winning property advisory firm Iceni Projects has today (25 October) announced four new appointments to its Planning team.

This weekend, we saw another significant tonal shift in the way the Government is approaching housebuilding and infrastructure. This time it was Communities’ Secretary Sajid Javid who brought the issue centre stage when he appeared on the Andrew Marr Show to argue that the Government should borrow to invest in order to solve the country’s housing crisis.

With much of the aftermath of Theresa May’s conference appearance focused on comedic stunts and unfortunate coughing fits, you could be forgiven for missing the message: her commitment to renewing the ‘British Dream’. It would seem as though May has decided to tie the future of her premiership on her ability to make homeownership a realistic ambition once again. So yesterday she hosted a special summit with housebuilders at Number 10, in the knowledge that failing to deliver on her promise to fix Britain’s housing market could have wide-reaching consequences on not only her own career but also on her party’s electoral chances.

It is time to wake up and smell the expensive coffee that we millennials love to drink, because London is no longer suitable for us.

So, how was your summer? Now that autumn is upon us the glorious sunshine of June may seem like an age back, but its impact has been considerable: this summer 52% of our electricity came from low carbon sources. Over half. This is even more impressive considering that the equivalent figure four years ago was 35%. Just over a third.

In the first article I wrote for Iceni (in my first week in the job no less) back in January I talked about Corbyn 2.0, a new year and a new Labour. Now that party conference season has rolled around it seems like a good time to return to this topic.
